1.5 million dollar...yeah, we shouldn't take it seriously

there are all signs of show.

1. 4 teams (in any serious competition participants for at least 6-8)
2. 4 "coaches". 3 of them as I understand are not professional coaches, just famous former players
3. real-time video behind the scenes (conversations, team building etc.)

lacking only a judges who are evaluating the performance. as Waldner, Saive and some of the younger generation like ZJK or XX )

btw it's strange there is no representative from Hong Kong, France and Portugal among the players, but 3 from Chinese Taipei

I voted for Persson team!
I hope for men vs. women matches!
I would love to see Ding Ning take on some players like Timo Boll, Samsonov or even Tomokazu

Yeah, it's quite a show, but everyone will give his best to win. It's also an experiment, that's why just 4 teams participate.
You are not right about the coaches. I don't know about Jiang Jianliang, but Roßkopf is german national team coach for a long time now, Persson coached the swedish team members many times. I've seen Michael Maze helping his team mates during matches too.

What is wrong with if the thing is for show? I have always believed that we should have a competitive exhibition aspect to our sport. There are whole competitions in billiards/snooker dedicated to trick shots. Swimmers do synchronized swimming and diving. The dunk competition is one of the most popular parts of the NBA All Star Weekend and it is still often discussed more widely and memorably than the actual game.

I know we love to see good hard fought table tennis, but I am behind this experimentation all the way as I want to see what comes it. People are putting a lot of money into making TT look exciting so I will be happy with them doing whatever they think is reasonable. We will all learn from it, and I will be very disappointed if they fail or people will prefer watching Timo Boll play Kuka

as a view of what entertain table tennis looks like.

Nothing wrong. I believe that a show is what all we need!

It has already started. The first match is Timo vs Vladimir.
The sound is lagging for me but the video quality is good.

Yes, sound lags on my computer as well.

Ilia Minkin · Jun 28, 2017

I think that it is opposite with the sound: it is ahead of the video.

PolishTT17 · Jun 28, 2017

I have just one question to you guys! Did you expect that???

NextLevel · Jun 28, 2017

What will be more interesting is how all this will look edited on TV. It reminds me of Team tennis, but they have to work on the scoring a little more.

Michal_Z · Jun 28, 2017

I dont understand now.. Who won the match?
Timo Boll or Vladimir Samsonov?
It was 2:1, 6:9 , so who won?

PolishTT17 · Jun 28, 2017

I think that I saw 2:2 at the end. So nobody won
